Quick start guide to creating a new rdev or analysis package.

Details

To quickly create and configure a new rdev or analysis package, use the following commands:

  1. With no project open, run create_github_repo() to initialize the GitHub R repository

  2. Without committing to git, run init() in the newly created project

  3. Manually update the Title and Description fields in the DESCRIPTION file without committing

  4. Run setup_analysis() or setup_rdev() to configure the package as an analysis package or rdev package respectively.

  5. Manually update .gitignore: remove the docs/ exclusion and add line breaks

After this, the package configuration is complete and ready for development.
